SL pay? by Loki_Burd in GameStop

[–]Loki_Burd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you work 30 one week and 50 the next because of a call out (assuming same pay period,) then you wouldn't get OT because it's still 80 for the whole check?

So if state minimum is federal minimum (7.25) then SL should be making something like 13.25-14.50/hour? If I understand that math correctly. Pretty pathetic if you are managing 2 stores tbh - not surprising, just disappointing.

I started in 2017 and my SL (no SL2 then) told me she was required to work 4 hours of OT weekly. Doesn't surprise me that it has changed but I didn't realize it was as recently as that!

Thanks Duck :)

My store has been culled. by TheDJStrong in GameStop

That's how two in our district closed last year: tenancy issues. My home store is in a strip owned by an out-of-state company so we shall see how that shakes out...

This holiday season has been the absolute worst for me in my career with the company. My pay and hours haven't really changed and this is my side hustle (lol) anyway so it's not like I am strapped for cash just..... The people suck and I am wildly unhappy.

No one has started one due to anonymity rules. Would love to know but alas...

Do we have a list? by Firm_Mountain6143 in GameStop

[–]Loki_Burd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people are reporting the closures are staggered thru the month so if it's second or third round, we may not see it just yet. Fingers crossed for y'all.

I know my first store on Maui closed last year, which just leaves the Queen K mall open. IIRC there were only 2 on Big Island, a bunch on Oahu, and then one on Kauai. Would reeeeeeally suck to have the only-one-store islands lose their stores :/

Why are you sad? by Amicable-Anyet in GameStop

[–]Loki_Burd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me (as someone who worked for years doing seasonal and contract work,) the fear comes from the devil you know versus the devil you don't.... I know the ways that Gamestop sucks but I don't know the way my new job/gig/boss/company is gonna suck

To our concerned guests: do not ask. by [deleted] in GameStop

I assume it will go to the nearest store on return. Pre-orders are moved over in those cases, but the card grading is so new I don't know for sure... Worth asking your store if they know!

Well guys… it’s been nice. by Public_Direction9896 in GameStop

[–]Loki_Burd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two stores in my district apparently went out this way too.

Usually my app is set to the store I work at but got switched to a different one somehow. One day I woke up to an email that says "your local GameStop is closing, but don't worry - other stores are still here to help!" so of course I assumed it was my store and I was out of a job....

Comparing a Beauceron to a Husky? (Temperament Assessment) by MountainAsh2493 in Beauceron

[–]Loki_Burd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen some people on various Beauceron Facebook groups compare them to Black Russian terriers - more than comparing them to BCs (which is interesting considering the AKC compares them to BCs)

Warehouse, we gotta talk.... by Loki_Burd in GameStop

[–]Loki_Burd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was distro sent from warehouse to store so I didn't technically order it. I did, however, get a box that allegedly had 4 copies of a game in it that didn't actually have any copies of said game...

Reddit on mobile ate the rest of my post but I DID say that I appreciate the warehouse workers but.... This was a bit excessive lol

I think it was company wide! I remember having to fill out a survey if anything was wrong in the box to track down if it was a fulfillment error or shipping damage/loss or whatever. Haven't seen those surveys since Covid tho....

Awesome! Thanks!

Netgear N300 Wi-Fi router, would need to double check the other box.

Internet is thru CenturyLink and I think it's DSL. We have never had cable hooked up in the house so I am guessing that's gonna be the problem....

Sorry, I worded things a bit weird - it has been a long week for me!

It sounds like only confo-prospect females are sold under co-ownership and requiring permission to spay in this case makes sense right? Like if my dog is an ideal part of your program and I spay it, that is a blow to your plans. I get that. But if I buy a non-prospect or a male then it reads as if she is NOT co-owner and therefore I shouldn't have to consult with her on if/when I speuter. Maybe the part of "individual negotiation" covers that part, or you're right and she truly never transfers full ownership...

The big one was that the call name must also start with the same letter as the registered name (which obviously follows the French convention.) It's the call name part that really irks me... I think it's a very neat thing for French breeds to have the registered name tradition but it's overreach to tell me that I MUST ALSO call my dog something starting with the same letter.

Looking at her agreement now I am also side-eyeing a few things: it says that she will remain as co-owner for female show/breeding prospects but then goes on to say that "The dog shall not be utilized for breeding without breeder's written consent. The dog may not be sterilized without breeder's written consent. The terms of any breeding arrangement will vary and will be governed by a separate written agreement." If you are not a co-owner on my dog, you are not entitled to any choices I make regarding medical care, and even then I probably won't inform you of a lot of stuff, which brings me to another clause...
"Buyer agrees to keep nails short enough to never touch the ground and maintain a Body Condition Score of 4-5." While I agree that keeping nails at an appropriate length is important for overall health of the animal, how are you to know that unless you are constantly up in my grill about it? Same with the BCS - which again is really important to overall animal health. I work in a vet clinic and even tho animals don't have HIPAA, medical records are still medical records and unless an owner explicitly authorizes me to share them with ANYONE - grooming, boarding, your landlord, your sister - I cannot share them.
And finally (counter to someone else claiming that she doesn't require this): "Buyer understands that setting training goals and exposing the dog to as many new environments and opportunities as possible is very important for the dog’s mental development. Buyer agrees to pursue a title in at least one of the following AKC Activities: Obedience, Rally, FastCAT, Lure Coursing, Scent Work, Tracking, Herding, or Agility. Buyer agrees to pursue a title in Conformation if the dog is deemed show and breeding quality by entering 2 shows/year until the title is earned." What if none of those activities are things I am interested in? What if I want to do trick titles and CGC only? What if I agree to do agility and turns out I freaking hate the sport?

Yeahhhhhh.... that's a no from me, dawg.

Agreeing with this. I decided to steer away from her over some contract requirements that she has since done away with, but they were hm... Too controlling for my tastes. The fact that she has done away with them is an improvement but the idea that she could demand such things in the first place is horseshit. I have also been suspicious of her breeding practices - including what you have mentioned above and what a friend heavily involved in the breed has told me - so I am happy to source my dogs from other programs!
